    Nice to be back in Indonesia after 18 months

    My wife returned from RI through Narita on the 10th of June. She was asked to show her negative test there, and of course at CGK. She arrived at DFW two days before the US officially lifted the testing requirement, but was not asked to show her proof of negative test at DFW (neither was I when...

    Obtaining Multiple Western Rx Meds (Outside of Jakarta) Vs. Jamu / TCM ?

    We have a house in Indonesia which we are currently renovating and in our present circumstances living in Indonesia after I retire is the most / only sensible thing to do. Besides that, yes, I want to be there and for my wife to be close to her family. I appreciate your thoughts. I have...

    Bring back masculinity

    .... and I illustrated for you an extremely "logical" outcome that followed (in actual history) the demarcation of some attributes in humans as "normal" and others as "abnormal". So for myself, I'll happily stick with the notion (however illogical it may be) that everything humans are and do...

    Bring back masculinity

    Umm ... you are aware that a certain German (Austrian, actually) politician (and failed artist) and some of his friends decided that since birth defects, physical deformities, mental disabilities, mental illnesses, etc, "serve no logical purpose", the existence of such individuals was...

    Bring back masculinity

    So, who is mentally ill, what exactly is "normal" (seems like dangerous ideas you are playing with here ...! ) , who gets to decide which is which, and what does your statement have to do with some peoples' ideas about what represents masculinity or appropriate fashion for men ... ? Since you're...

    Obtaining Multiple Western Rx Meds (Outside of Jakarta) Vs. Jamu / TCM ?

    HeadsUp: This post / thread may be a bit of a dog's breakfast, as I'm just going to throw all my health and medicine related questions in here for now. Plan to retire back to RI within the next couple of years. I'm 57 and have multiple and fairly serious health issues including: Diabetes...

    Five Year KITAP (family reunification - spouse sponsored) Eligibility

    :D Ten and a half years (since December 2011). I survived (and occasionally thrived) Single, for some 45 years before that.

    Five Year KITAP (family reunification - spouse sponsored) Eligibility

    Not necessarily. You can get married under Kementarian Agama whenever and not register the marriage with Catatan Sipil until years later. I think we did it within a year, at least, of our marriage, but I'll have to check to be sure.

    Bring back masculinity

    To paraphrase the late, beloved American comedian Bill Hicks: "What makes a man a man?" >>> A pair of testicles.

    Bring back masculinity

    Apparently so, but I am not alone in finding it nonsensical and awkward. "It" goes against my grain, linguistically speaking, to call a singular person "they" or "them". That has nothing to do with having respect for any person's self-identity, but is simply about the terms "they" or "them", by...

    Nice to be back in Indonesia after 18 months

    I planned to go back last year but could not get a visa in time. Wife went mudik without me last year and this year, will be back in the US a week from now. I hope to go next summer with no hassles. Haven't been in RI since December 2018. Enjoy your time, Jaime.

    Five Year KITAP (family reunification - spouse sponsored) Eligibility

    Nicho, what is the meaning of "Alhi Status"? Does this refer to the one year spousal KITAS?

    Five Year KITAP (family reunification - spouse sponsored) Eligibility

    Okay, understood, thanks.

    Five Year KITAP (family reunification - spouse sponsored) Eligibility

    So it means apply for the one year KITAS first, once that is obtained can apply to change it to KITAP ?

    Five Year KITAP (family reunification - spouse sponsored) Eligibility

    As of today - when I move back to RI and apply for KITAP according to the process, will I be immediately eligible to apply the 5 year KITAP, or do I have to do the series of one year permits as in previous times? Sorry, I haven't kept up with this. Wife and I are married since 2011 (under KUA)...

    Quarantine back to 7 days starting December

    The one thing that surprises me is there seems to be no mention of a financial means litmus test. E.g. showing that one has at least x amount of funds available to them. Or is that not mentioned because it is already part of the (old) requirements for VOA? Also of interest to me is the fact...

    Quarantine back to 7 days starting December

    Ummm ... (rolls eyes) PS: I am not attacking "you". I do not know "you". You are an icon of an Emirates (football jersey?) and a bunch of posted words to me. A lot of those words in this particular thread, um, don't "make sense" to me. Why does it matter? This is an informational thread for...
